Another Side Of Me

Today I am doing something different, I am letting you in on another side of me!

Considering I have never used stitching on my cards or layouts you may find it surprising to know that I also sew! Truth be told my sewing machine has been in the basement since I moved so it has been a while, I think it is time to get it back out.

Here are a few projects I did, I learned to sew by myself so of course in the beginning it was...

lets say a little rough around the edges but as with anything it becomes easy when you know how, lol

I started out doing pillows or couch pillows as some call them , towards the end of this creative adventure I was making one in a whopping seven minutes..you betcha I timed it!!

From Casual Pillows

To Fun Pillows that could be hung

﻿

To sets which made great gifts

I am the type of person who cannot make the same type of anything over again so I had to explore my options which resulted in making aprons

They started out simple (of course!)

To making the whole kit and kaboodle﻿

That was short lived as well so I started to alter my jeans, trying to invent my own style (That didn't work out so well, lol)

You guessed it , I moved onto making curtains which seem to last longer than anything else I attemped, horray for me!! It lasted 1 whole month, hehe!

Back to pillows and I covered this whatchamacallit... don't know the name for it

and when this was out of my system I got serious and started to recover Sofa cushions , I did cottages and campers and loved every minute. Then I found scrapbooking and fell in love all over again.

I hope you enjoyed getting to know a little more about me, tomorrow I am sharing my family with you!!

I also recently have revisited my "first creative love" which was sewing, started long ago in my teens. I will admit to getting a new machine that embroiders, which brings a whole new level of fun to sewing. So glad to find that we are kindred spirits! your work is fabulous!~Kathy

Wow a completely different facet of you! Awesome. I'm really impressed that you learned by yourself!!! I had the help of my MIL lol and yes I guess we go through phases... I used to sew, then did lots of cooking (including canning), did crochet (got fed up after doing a tablecloth for 2 years....) yup nice to try new things!!!

My super sweet friend, these sewing projects are exquisite! You are so talented in so many ways.. it's such a joy to see this side of you, too. :o) Gorgeous creations and so beautifully done. I love pillows (the more, the merrier!) so that was especially fun for me to see! :o) I've only used my sewing machine for cards since I received it a little over a year ago, but have longed to sew *something* that isn't paper. ;) Eventually! Lots of love to you, my beautiful Naomi! :o)
